Om
Snabba fakta: Templet lockar tusentals hängivna varje tisdag, den traditionella dagen för Hanuman-tillbedjan i centrala Indien. En 21 fot hög stående idol uthuggen ur ett enda block av svart sten förankrar det inre helgedomen, med sitt ansikte som glöder under oljelampor som har brunnit oavbrutet i årtionden.
Höjdpunkter: Varje tisdagsmorgon smetar prästerna in idolens hela kropp i färsk vermilionpasta, vilket förvandlar den svarta stenen till en briljant orange figur som glöder under morgonljuset. Hängivna trycker sig nära för att röra offerduken efter ritualen, i tron att den bär gudomens skyddande energi för den kommande veckan.
Insidertips
- Wear modest clothing covering shoulders and knees, and carry a cloth to cover your head while inside the sanctum.
- The best photo spot is the east-facing gateway at sunrise, where the idol's silhouette frames against the golden sky.
- Skip the evening darshan on Tuesdays if you dislike crowds, over 3,000 people pack the courtyard by 6 PM.
- Bring small change (5 and 10 rupee notes) for the many donation offering plates set up along the circumambulation path.
